Hi everyone,
This is a strange problem I have been having. I'm not sure where the
problem is, so I figured I'd start here.
I as having problems with Bacula stopping on 17Gig Volume sizes, so I
decided to try to Just dd a 50 gig file. Sure enough, once the file hit
17 gigs dd stopped and spit out an error
(pandora bacula)# dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=1M count=50000
File size limit exceeded
(pandora bacula)#
(pandora bacula)# ll
total 20334813

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 9.7G 5.8G 3.4G 64% /
/dev/hda1 99M 20M 75M 21% /boot
/dev/hda4 102G 2.2G 94G 3% /home
/dev/md2 221G 90G 120G 43% /mnt/storage
none 1014M 0 1014M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/mapper/lvg01-coraid
812G 693G 114G 86% /mnt/coraid
There are a few layers on this partation, so I figured I'd start at the
top with you guys and work my way down. The partation this size limit
is on looks like so...
/mnt/coraid
+--------+
| Ext3 |
+--------+
| LVM 2 |
+--------+
| Raid 5 |
+--------+
So any one of these layers could be the problem. I was able to create a
100 Gig file on the /home partition, so perhaps ext3 is not the problem,
but I'm really not sure.
The system is CentOs 4.1 running 2.6.13.2 (also tried 2.6.12.2)
Any insight would be great
